I own a 2000 Polaris magnum 325 2x4 i went out this very cold morning in Wisconsin and tried to start it. But it would not turn over not even the pull start would pull out. But i got stuck in water 4 days ago and was wondering it might of got in somewhere and it froze something so it wont start Please help me. If u want u can email me at sparky54758@hotmail.com only if u know what is wrong with it.

 

whats with these guys wantin us to e-mail?its froze, get it in and warm and dry it out

 

3 years ago I put diesel fuel in my 400ex gas- it's been sitting since. I tried to start it yesterday and it wont- what's wrong with it?
I have no money to fix the atv that I beat on everytime I ride- so please just give me advice that would let me fix it for free.





sooo- you wet your atv a few days ago and now it's frozen stuck.... wonder what the first step should be to figure out what's wrong

 

I wouldn't want to put you out or anything. I mean if it's an inconvenience to you for me to email you, I won't.

Pull on the starter rope. If it doesn't move it's probably frozen. It needs to be able to move.

But I'm not sure if it's the problem or not so I probably shouldn't post this...

 

Not sure how submerged you were but like they all said, Thaw it out like a NY strip for tomorrows dinner If you were submerged enough to allow water in your exhaust i'd change your oil and filter too.

 

Water gets down the recoil rope hole and makes a large ice cube that will not allow the flywheel to turn.
Solution: wait until summer for the ice to turn back into water and drain it out the bottom drain hole, in ice form the water will never fit out the drain hole of the recoil cover.

 

if he wants to get the ice out quicker- he can always drill out the cover and pull the ice out

 

I left my quad in a pond over night and it froze, now I can't get it out. What shpuld I do? email me @ Idon'tknowshit.com

 

Seriously, though people should silicone the rope handle in its place, can,t believe people trust a $5 rope handle to protect a $300 stator,$300 flywheel,Bendix drive,and pulse coil from taking a swim.

If you do need the pull rope for back up the silicon seal will break loose easy enough. Hardcore mud running guys at highlifter remove the rope and JB weld the rope hole closed.

 

OK thank you all for the reply's i have it out in my garage with a space heater next to it. I also heard you can move the clutch and it should free it up and it should pull start Please let me know if that would work if i tried to do it.
